Like Honey

You lit a 21 birthday candle / told me to make a wish / I proceeded to light my cigarette with it /

said I kind of have all that I need / I kissed your neck and tasted the salt / and heard the church

bells playing their gospels / not too far where you removed my spaghetti straps and silk panties/

spilled the wine on the blanket and the ants were all over food/ as the sun went down in that

golden hue / our bodies glowed like honey

Fishbowl

They call my town the fishbowl / just when you think you reached the surface/ you come back

down / you think things would be different someplace else / even the sun but it’s just the same

doughnut in the sky / on the greyhound / looking out the window/ I think I still have some hope/

for a dream that I can’t just let die / and if I had to I would rather just dissolve into the leather

seat/ and just let my last memory of me trying to leave this place.
